Do you see the harvest?
By JERRY WEBB
University of Delaware
NEWARK, Del. - A record
harvest is under way
throughout the nation -
wheat, com and soybeans
are expected to reach new
highs
That’s good news for
consumers throughout the
world if they know it’s
happening. Most people in
American, however, don’t
know any more about the
harvest than what they read
in the paper. Headline
stories tell of harvest
estimates and grain deals
and rising food prices. But
the man on the street hasn’t
seen or noticed the harvest
even though it’s going on all
around him. He doesn’t see
his automobile or television
set being built either, but
somehow that’s a little
different. Manufacturing is

done in buildings, usually in
some far away city and
anymore, an awful lot of
what we buy is put together
by people who don’t even
speak our language.
But our food supply is
different. Virtually all of it is
produced in America and it’s
done out in the open for all to
see. A consumer who’s the
least bit curious can see
meat, milk and eggs,
vegetables and field crops in
the various stages of
production. There’s no
reason for kids to grow up
not knowing where milk
comes from or what a corn
plant looks like.
Right now, fanners are in
the midst of harvesting com
and soybeans - an ideal
time for the city dweller or
suburbanite to head down
some country road and
watch it happen.
